It's a bit sad to say, but I don't think Boston's south end should be on a list like this anymore. It was a flash in the pan, only really gayifying in the 90's when I moved here, and then very quickly overrun with straight bankers and baby strollers by 2010. The South End is the Madonna of gayborhoods - dead for years, but people don't seem to realize it yet. There are a few other clusters in the area (a few hills in dorchester, JP), but no real gayborhood anymore.
I voted "other" with Weho in mind, however, I haven't been to Chicago as an adult, and would like to go.
I love Chelsea and HK as gayborhoods, but I'm moving to Silver Lake soon, since although it isn't as concentrated as a gay neighborhood anymore, it is more my idea of a good overall neighborhood with a lot of gayness in it.
Capitol Hill didn't seem very gay to me in 2010 or in 2015, but both times, I left quickly because I was tired of getting aggressively harassed by homeless men. The Castro seemed more like a museum of a gay neighborhood.

Boystown and the gay village in Toronto are probably the most impressive that I've been to.
